“I love doing stunts,” Megan said when she stopped by Access last week. “It’s like a fast-paced dance sequence. You choreograph this fight with someone and you are listening in a sense, you’re feeling what they’re doing. They’re your dance partner and you’re responding. But it’s not like, 1-2-3.”

After miming punches and upper cuts, Megan explained that doing those intensely physical moves while starring in her high-action series left her feeling strong.

“I think that young women love to watch Liz Keen fight and kick butt, and that’s touching for me because there should be more strong female characters,” Megan said. “Does Liz know everything? No. She’s a flawed human being, but she’s always fighting. She’s aspiring for something and I think that aspirational feeling with a lead female character is something that young women need to see, especially now.”
